Principal's PenAs we come to the end of the year, in amongst the christmas carols and mad christmas rush we start our planning for next year and this can be an anxious time for families. Class allocations take us many weeks and many things are considered, not the least being our year group numbers. The class lists are completed and all classes are full. There can be no changes so please do not be offended if a change is refused. Any changes result in a roll on effect which means other students need to be changed to balance class numbers. Students will meet their next year's teacher on the Thursday 13th December. Class allocations will be in the reports as usual.

Our school has received a very strong and positive ERO review and this will be published as soon as it is finalised. I hope to see everyone at our Final Assembly and at Prizegiving. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
